David Fincher's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo remake gets a second trailer.

This is actually over a minute longer than a regulation-sized 2:30 trailer. At 3:46, it's basically a trimmed down version of the footage that the press saw last week in front of selected press screenings of Straw Dogs or Moneyball. As such, there isn't much new to add, other than to again remark how visually dynamic the picture looks. This thing is chock-full of character and narrative exposition, and it's good that Sony now seems unafraid to highlight the somewhat unique title character. Otherwise, I direct you HERE to read my thoughts on the eight-minute preview from last week.

Seems to me like Rooney Mara is the only one who nailed the Swedish accent (other than the original Swedes in the cast). Interesting. Just another added bonus point in her favor. She is 'exactly' how I pictured Lisbeth: intimidating and fierce, yet alluring and attractive. Awesome.

Because it is possible to re-edit essays after they have been posted, please feel free to alert me to any typos, grammar issues, and questions of factual accuracy, preferably by email and not in the comments section. And, also, since I often embed video clips, please let me know if any said clips are no longer functioning. Thanks.
